Subject: [xsl] XslBricks: Rapid XSL Stylesheet Development Library From: xsl-list@xxxxxxxxxxxxxx Date: Fri, 13 Feb 2004 07:10:49 -0800 (PST) |
Greetings, We have developed an XSL library (as a part of Syntext Serna), that actually may be used standalone. XslBricks serves three main purposes: - Allows to create simple XSL stylesheets for arbitrary XML documents very easy and rapidly (from 5 to 30 minutes). - XSL stylesheet that uses XslBricks produces not only XSL-FO, but also HTML. - XslBricks contains popular, reusable XSL modules, e.g. XHTML. So, XslBricks may be used as kick-start for developing a new XSL stylesheet from scratch (especially for newbies). For example this short XSL stylesheet: <xsl:stylesheet version="1.0" xmlns:xsl="http://www.w3.org/1999/XSL/Transform" xmlns:fo="http://www.w3.org/1999/XSL/Format"> <xsl:include href="path_to_xsl_bricks/fo/fo.xsl"/> </xsl:stylesheet> Is *enough* to get XSL-FO (or HTML) view of an arbitrary XML document with the default templates. If you want to show an element with special decorations, say, section title to look like "h1" HTML, you create a template call as short as this: <xsl:template match="section/title"> <xsl:call-template name="h1"/> </xsl:template> Single XslBricks stylesheet included with XSL-FO backend or with HTML backend will produce correspondingly XSL-FO or HTML. We would like to get your feedback: what other templates may be useful in XslBricks, what parameters should we add to this or that XslBricks template, etc. Currently XslBricks library is available as a part of Syntext Serna (free fully functional trial is available at: http://www.syntext.com/products/serna/index.htm ). If community finds XslBricks useful we are going to make it a standalone (and of course free) package. XslBricks documentation is available at: http://www.syntext.com/products/serna/doc/xslbricks/index.htm Feel free to send comments and feature requests to serna-users@xxxxxxxxxxx mailing list. -- Syntext team XSL-List info and archive: http://www.mulberrytech.com/xsl/xsl-list
